But for Dr. Laura Bates, professor of English at Indiana State University, they go hand in hand. She goes into prisons and teaches Shakespeare to prisoners who are in solitary confinement. She found that introducing Shakespeare actually helps these prisoners understand their own character and why they may have committed crimes in the first place.
Luis and Shantell talk with Bates about her experience and why Shakespeare works in this setting. Interested in more? Read her book "Shakespeare Saved My Life: Ten Years In Solitary with the Bard."
